History:
Mizuki Tsurutaka founded Black Barc in Los Angeles in 2011. Rather than relying on molds, Tsurutaka handcrafts all her work using traditional Japanese blacksmithing techniques and cites nature as the primary inspiration behind her designs. As a result, Black Barc pieces feel timeless, quietly evoking organic, elemental forms found in our surrounding environment. Based in Torrance, Tsurutaka shares her studio with her husband, Yusuke Muramatsu, designer of Prospective Flow.
18k yellow gold, a labradorite set inside the skull face, 1 ruby (left) and 3 sapphires (top, right, bottom) set around the skull face.
Variation:
Made by hand, this piece is one-of-a-kind
Care Instructions:
We recommend removing your gold jewelry before showering, bathing, or cleaning as chemicals can dull the color of the gold.
